USA at one of the several museums

Miss B and I ventured to the east coast this weekend. She attended a TFA (Teach For America) conference and I went to see friends Doug, Carl, and college friend V. It was a whirlwind trip with lots of wine, great food, and laughter. Miss B is a TFA alum and it was high time we went to see the boys and V on the other coast. After a long flight Doug gave us a tour of DC at night via Zipcar and then met up with Carl who was home at cleaning. After lots of drinking and chatting, we eventually made it to bed, late. We spent the day on Friday walking around and checking out things and had a fantastic Indian lunch. The best part of the walking around was the Smithsonian where there were delightful pieces of memorabilia from days past. We saw Dorothy's shoes, the original muppets, Michael Jackson's hat, Fonzie's jacket, the dresses of the First Women (and I wanted to throw paint on both sets of Bush-wear) and lots of other cool stuff.

Friday night and Saturday Miss B was busy conferencing while I hung out with the boys and V. We also went for a wonderful Ethiopian lunch and I think my belly is still full from it! We also hung out for coffee and eventually went to this rather hip place called Cork. It was fabulous to hang out with V as we hadn't seen her in a very long time. A good trip overall. Now I am just sleepy from flying a whole bunch and getting in this morning from SFO to PDX on the early flight. But that's my life these days.

I am being adventurous and having dinner with Emily's girlfriend tomorrow night. A diversion from the usual work, gym, eat, talk to Miss B, and sleep. Crazy huh?!?!

Things may be changing at the jelly doughnut factory. Had a big conversation today with the big boss. When it's official, if it's official, I will report it. Until then, I'll let the suspense kill ya!
